Project Overview

Field survey investigations were conducted during September and October of 2010 in order to inventory, record and analyze the physical condition of architectural and structural features of the Onamia Soo Line Railroad Depot which currently is serving as a public library and Soo Line Boxcar. Based on existing conditions, recommendations for repairs were prepared along with yearly inspection logs and a list of maintenance duties.

The maintenance plan for the Onamia Soo Line Depot addresses planned and long-term corrective maintenance and recommendations for site improvements. It is divided into the following sections:
1) Site and Depot Condition and Recommendations
2) Depot Inspection Log
3) Maintenance Duties and Logs

The primary purpose of the Box Car Physical Conditions Survey is two-fold:
1) survey and evaluate the physical condition of the Boxcar; and
2) recommend remedial work.
